Pass of all Passes



So I bought this KSL deal. It's called the Pass of all Passes! It's unlimited 7 Peaks Water park pass plus a ticket to all these different games and stuff. I get to go to 4 Real Salt Lake Games, 4 Utah Grizzlies games, all of the Utah Blaze games and 6 Races at Rocky Mountain Raceway! All for $40!
Here's a calendar of all the activities:

I've already been to one Real Game this last Tuesday and we had great seats!
Real actually won too! 4-1 I think was the final score.
There was a penalty kick during the stoppage play and Real just kicked it in and game over! It was pretty sweet even for me who's not a huge fan of watching soccer.






Last night was the first Grizzlies game. When it was time to find out who was going everyone decided that they had other plans. I'll admit that I was a little bugged. I'm pretty sure the majority said they were coming on Friday and then when Friday rolls along they all have plans. It makes me want to just go buy a ticket before hand and take a date. That way I would have plans too! We will see. It ended up just being me and one other person and was pretty fun. We got seats on Row 7! It was my first ever live hockey game.

I'll keep the pictures coming of all the games and stuff we do.

Back in the Dating Scene!

So my nieces stayed with us this last weekend and I have to recount a conversation I had with Tara on Sunday morning. Keep in mind that Tara is 7!

Tara's looking at me funny and says,
"I just can't figure it out."
"Figure what out?"
"Why you aren't married!"
I was surprised and taken back a little so I said,
"I'm just waiting for you to get older so we can get married!"
She looks at me in a disapproving way and says,
"We can't get married, we're family!"
I put out my bottom lip and acted like I was starting to cry.
"What? I've been waiting this whole time for you!" and then I walked down the hall to the bathroom. She followed me down to make sure I was ok and said to me in a calm and sympathetic voice,
"We can't get married cause we are already family."

It was hilarious! I don't know if my Sister-in-Law put her up to it or something but I guess this means that I have to start looking for someone to marry since I can't marry my 7 year old niece!

First Blog of the New Year!

Wow! Two months go by quick!
Here's what you missed:
Christmas was good. I didn't get anything until the week after Christmas but it's still a great time of the year and I had fun!
I found out that I will be getting an office at work. We just have to wait until we hire a few more people. Work is great! Crazy but going really well.
I sprained my ankle the week that I was starting to train for a half marathon! It always happens like that. That was two weeks ago and I'm finally starting to be able to do stuff more then just walk! Here's a pic:
Two days after that I was waiting for a pump to get some gas and someone backed into me!
The bad news is I wasn't too concerned about my car because my ankle still hurt so I just had the guy write down his info and didn't look at it. When I did he had put his name, his policy number and a phone number. I tried to call the phone number and whomever it was said that it wasn't the guy I was looking for. So the next person that hits me better watch out. I'm taking all your info and calling the phone on the spot and taking a picture of your licence plate!

That pretty much catches you up with what's going on. I'm thinking about writing something about Valentines day but I might have to pass on that since it will be yet another V-day without a "special someone". I think this will make 31 consecutive years. Not something I'm too proud of.

Which brings me to my last subject. My boss who is also a Bishop, told me I should try something different when it comes to dating since everything I've tried hasn't worked out too well. He also said to ask people what I can improve about myself. So here goes nothing...If you do have something you think I could improve or do differently then please comment. My one request is you have to give me two ways to change. You can't just say I suck at blogging, but you also have to add two suggestions of how to improve that like have a day that you blog every week and set a reminder in your phones calendar so you can remember to blog. Also you can't post anonymously, at least put your name at the end!

Well till next time. Have a great day/week/Valentine's day!

Halloween!


So Halloween is a fun time of the year, even for adults! It's the one time a year that you can wear whatever you want and people actually applaud you.

I was going to go all out this year but couldn't find the one thing that would make my costume...green tights that would fit a 6'4" guy! If you know of a place let me know cause I'll get this idea ready for next year! I've found them online but didn't have time to wait for shipping. So I had to fall back on what I had in my closet. I grabbed my chaps and my cowboy hat and picked up a Sheriff's star and off to my FHE party. The best comment all night was a girl that I don't know looks over and feels my chaps and says, "Whoa, those are like thick chaps.
They're like real ones!"
For my work dress up I wanted to go as Col. Sanders but due to lack of enthusiasm at work and me waking up late I grabbed my Pony Express shirt and vest and my cowboy hat again and off I went as a Pony Express rider.

I did find something that I'll use every year around this time. A Jello brain mold! Below is my very first brain!
It was a huge hit and actually tasted pretty good! I brought home half a brain and made my nieces promise to eat the "surprise dessert". They didn't really know what it was so it wasn't hard for them to eat it right up! They even asked for seconds and thirds - more then I can say than any of my coworkers!
